What you need to do is find an old fart (like me) who has been playing with, and sometimes working on, these cars since they were a kid, and saved every piece of hardware they removed from the cars they owned, their friends cars they worked on, and all the cars they stripped parts from in their local junkyards.
I have at least 10 five gallon buckets full of old original Ford hardware, plus a bunch in boxes, bags and everything else imaginable, stored in my garage. I usually do not sell any of this hardware, but I do offer it to my friends who bring their cars to my place to work on.
We worked on a 35 Ford touring sedan last winter and into this spring and replaced every piece of NON original Ford hardware we could find on that car, and there was plenty of it, with original Ford hardware of the correct size and finish.
